It ate at his heart. The knowledge that he alone possessed.

He was a werewolf.

If people knew, he would be shunned. Hated. Exiled.

He would always be different, he couldn't help being bitten when he was so young, his life ruined before his eighth birthday.

It was torture, living through each full moon, everyone worse than the the last.

His worries plagued him constantly. What if the Marauders found out? Then he would be left with no friends and they'd tell the whole bloody school.

Perhaps, one day, he would find the courage to tell them his dirty, well no, it wasn't dirty, it was furry, alright, his furry little secret.


Tien Lien Competition, Card Four: Remus Lupin

Oh The Thinks You Can Think, Sneetches - a species that determines social status based on appearances. Write about someone shallow. Alternatively, write about someone who is (or perceives him/herself as) ugly.

Hedley Song Competition, Villain - Write about someone who feels lonely. Alternatively, write about James Potter.

The Star Challenge, Polaris: It is known as the North Star, which kind of reminds me of the North Pole. Write about Christmas (at Hogwarts, or the Burrow, or wherever...). In a dark country sky, even when the full moon obscures a good deal of the starry heavens, the North Star is relatively easy to see. Every time I see the word full moon I think of Remus. So, alternatively, write about Remus.
